I know everyone is excited to jump on the bandwagon but can we stop this please.
edit: my bad, everyone aboard the shitpost train I guess.

#4The alert didn't shut off until you pressed the button. Many devices were making noise for minutes around me.
How many car crashes were caused by people startled by the sudden, continuous alert?

Re: Presidential Alerts
#7This has nothing to do with POTUS Trump, its been out for years, even under Obama. You can disable all alerts EXCEPT the Presidential alerts, due to extreme emergencies which its used for. And I don't think its ever been used.
But as alerts go, I had to shut off the Amber alerts, the local Seattle and King county was spamming my phone and even getting amber alerts for other counties hundreds of miles away. I carry 2 phones, work and private, double annoying on these alerts.

#9Only one person at my office even got the alert. I'm going to have to call this test of the system a failure.
Dammit, and I'd even queued up Orff's "O Fortuna" to go with the rising crescendo of Emergency Alert System tones.

#10Just received one.
It shows up as one of those "emergency notifications" you usually receive when a flood is happening nearby, except here it's titled "Presidential Alert".
